Two off-duty Auckland officers were the subject of an police investigation after becoming involved in a fight during a Christmas celebration at a bar. <\/p>\n
The Independent Police Conduct Authority (IPCA) said it oversaw the investigation into the incident, which involved two officers and members of the public. <\/p>\n
According to the IPCA, the officers had been drinking with their colleagues when one became involved in a fight with two people at the same bar. <\/p>\n
A second officer then jumped into the altercation to defend his colleague.<\/p>\n
The fight was quickly broken up, but the first officer was knocked unconscious and required medical treatment. <\/p>\n
Police said it carried out both criminal and employment investigations into the incident. <\/p>\n
It was determined a criminal prosecution was not warranted, while the subsequent employment process resulted in a finding of misconduct against one of the officers. <\/p>\n
The IPCA said it agreed with the decisions made by police and the outcome reached. <\/p>\n
Police have been approached for comment. <\/p>\n
